Library— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be direct, grammatically correct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct article use and verb forms, avoid fillers. Add a brief reason with linking words (e.g., because, so) and a specific detail to support your view. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

例: No, I don't go to the library often. I usually buy books at a bookstore or download them online because it's more convenient and offers a wider selection.

提案: Answer directly with a topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Correct noun forms and avoid unrelated or unclear phrases. Keep sentences natural and coherent.

例: I usually look for new fiction and non-fiction titles. Then I sit down to read for about an hour, taking notes when I find interesting ideas.

提案: Use past tense for past events and avoid hesitation. Give a brief supporting detail (when, how often, or what you did) with a linking word. Keep it concise and grammatically correct.

例: Yes, I went to the library often when I was a child. I visited every weekend to borrow children’s books and attend storytelling sessions.

提案: Clarify the question if needed, then give a direct opinion with reasons and specific examples. Use correct grammar and linking words (e.g., generally, however, because). Avoid asking confusing follow-up phrases that don't answer the question.

例: Generally, many Chinese children visit libraries, especially in cities, because schools encourage reading and libraries offer after-school programs. However, attendance can be lower in rural areas due to fewer facilities.

× No, I don't go often to library.

✓ No, I don't go to the library often.

The definite article 'the' is required before singular, specific nouns like 'library'. Also, adverb placement is improved by putting 'often' after the verb phrase. Suggestion: say 'I don't go to the library often.'

× I prefer to uh, book shop with book or online book.

✓ I prefer to buy books at a bookshop or online.

The original sentence misuses verbs and prepositions. 'Prefer to' should be followed by an infinitive ('buy'), 'book shop' should be 'bookshop' (noun) or 'a bookshop', and plural 'books' is appropriate. Use 'at a bookshop' or 'online' for locations. Suggestion: 'I prefer to buy books at a bookshop or online.'

× I'm looking for some new books.

✓ I look for some new books when I go there.

Context: examiner asked what they usually do in the library (habit), so simple present is more appropriate than present continuous. Use 'I look for' or 'I browse' for habitual actions. Suggestion: 'I look for some new books' or 'I browse for new books.'

× Or are you?

✓ (Remove sentence)

This fragment 'Or are you?' is out of context and disrupts meaning. It appears unnecessary; remove it. Suggestion: omit this sentence to maintain coherent response.

× I sit down and just read book.

✓ I sit down and just read a book.

Singular countable noun 'book' requires an article. Use 'a book' for a non-specific single book. Suggestion: 'I sit down and just read a book.'

× Yes, yes, I I I go often to library.

✓ Yes, yes, I often went to the library.

The examiner asked about childhood (past), so use past tense 'went'. Also include definite article 'the' before 'library' and place 'often' before the verb. Suggestion: 'I often went to the library.'

× What do you have with Chinese kids?

✓ What do you mean about Chinese kids?

The phrase 'have with' is incorrect for asking clarification. Use 'mean' with 'about' or 'by' to ask for clarification. Suggestion: 'What do you mean about Chinese kids?' or 'What do you mean by Chinese kids?'

× I think then they can to go to library.

✓ I think then they can go to the library.

Modal verbs like 'can' are followed by the base verb without 'to'. Also add 'the' before 'library'. Place 'then' appropriately: 'I think they can go to the library then' or 'I think then they can go to the library.' Suggestion: 'I think they can go to the library then.'
